  • Seamus Heaney and the Adequacy of Poetry

    John DennisonBOOKSeamus Heaney and the Adequacy of…2015Citada por: 2

    Seamus Heaney’s prose poetics return repeatedly to the adequacy of poetry, and its ameliorative, restorative response to the violence of public historical life. It is a curiously equivocal ideal, and as such most clearly demonstrates the intellectual origins, the humanist character, and the inherent strains of these poetics, the work of one of the world’s leading poet-critics of the last thirty years. This book is the first study of the developme…

  • The Polynesian chin and mandible

    John M Dennison, John Dennison et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2007

    We noted the similarity in mandibular profile between a 27,000-year-old skull from China and a 160-year-old Polynesian skull. Both had a more vertical ramus, a curved inferior border, and no chin. The European mandible has a greater gonial angle, an antegonial notch, and a chin. Is the presence of a chin sufficient to distinguish European mandible from Polynesian? Can the gonial angle and ramus shape do so? A blind study of fifty mandibles of bot…

  • The Incidence and Expression of the Subcondylar Tubercle of the Mandible in Early Polynesians, Modern Indians and Modern Europeans

    John M Dennison, John Dennison et al.ARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2005

    A sample of pre-European Polynesian and Melanesian mandibles, modern Asian Indians and cadaveric European mandibles were investigated to establish the prevalence of a subcondylar tubercle and to attempt to relate its presence to mandibular function. Among the three population samples, the subcondylar tubercle appeared 1.5 times more frequently among the Polynesians/Melanesians, than either the Indian or European groups. It was fairly equally pres…

  • Spiral computed tomographic study of a pre-Ptolemaic Egyptian mummy

    Open AccessJules Kieser, John M Dennison et al.ARTICLEAnthropological Science2004Citada por: 3

    We studied an Egyptian mummy housed in the Otago Museum, Dunedin, New Zealand. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the age of the mummy is 2,358 BP, which is the period of the 30th Dynasty of Nakhthorhebe. Serial CT scans show that the heart had been removed, which is unusual among Egyptian mummies. In contrast, the brain had been left in situ. The orbital breadth suggests a degree of hypertelorism, being at the upper limit of the values recorded f…

  • A newly-discovered craniological non-metric trait

    Open AccessGeorge J Dias, John M Dennison et al.ARTICLEAntropologia Portuguesa2002

    A b stractWe identified a bony groove, hitherto undescribed, in the infratemporal fossa region of the cranial base, passing laterally from the foramen ovale onto the squamous temporal bone.It was found that this groove was formed by the posterior deep temporal nerve.A study of the extent of the groove in 50 precontact New Zealand Maori adults (28 males, 22 females), 41 precontact Chatham Island Moriori adults (27 males, 14 females), and 32 modern…
